The great American baseball card flipping, trading,… by Brendan C. Boyd
Didn’t live up to the legacy/hype, maybe I’ll read it again at the start of next card season
Very clever and witty.
This is a timeless classic. I've returned to this one over the years and still find it a refreshing evocation of two boys' love of baseball in the 1950s and 1960s. Evocative, sometimes heart-tugging (in a good way), and if you lived through those times as I did (at least in the latter part of the '60s), seeing the cards you used to collect will give you that frisson of excitement (and regret, if you gave them away long ago).
What a fun book this is- wry, insightful and sharp.The card of Johnny Unitas is worth the price of admission itself.
